I bought the SparkFun Inventor’s Kit - v4.1.2 - KIT-21301 - SparkFun Electronics with the SparkFun RedBoard Qwiic board. I have the Arduino IDE 2.2.1 and wondering what board to choose for configuring it to run with my RedBoard. The SparkFun RedBoard is not one of the choices. I chose Arduino UNO R4 Minima. Is that right? Should I choose a different one? What are the differences? I attached screenshots of the available board choices in the Arduino IDE 2.2.1 ![arduino IDE 2.2.1 board choices 2.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/sparkfun/original/3X/c/0/c07bba5a582f19d8b328cf60ff363f768d6d37a1.jpeg) ![arduino IDE 2.2.1 board choices 1.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/sparkfun/original/3X/c/c/cc14a80d5164b54ec1fa661f1d422c238d65bb21.jpeg) ---

Did your kit not come with an guide book? I believe the answer to this question (and future ones) can be found in that book.
